Weakly non-linear creep of amorphous polymers near their glass transition, comparisons between models and experiment
The non-linear mechanics of amorphous polymers near the glass transition reveals a stress-induced acceleration of stress relaxation of nanometric sub-units. Recent theoretical work predicts that the local acceleration within these nano-domains should scale as the exponential of the squared local stress, a behavior now...
